<!-- This page differs from the basicPageTemplate in that it gives step-by-step
	instructions on how to complete a given task. These are great for the users,
	especially if the steps are presented in a bite-sized fashion. Try to use
	these more than the basic template. -->

				<p>Previous versions of Maildrop required you to use the AppleScripts menu, either the one built into Entourage, or the system wide scripts menu for Mail.</p>
				<p>Starting with Maildrop 2.0, the button bar is the primary way to interact with Maildrop, however it still uses AppleScript to integrate to Entourage and Mail under the covers,
					and if you wish, you can continue to use the scripts menu to interact with Maildrop. Revised versions of the AppleScripts used are copied to the relevant directories as part
					of the first run of Maildrop 2.0.</p>
				<p>In addition other System wide, or application specific enhancements to run AppleScript can continue to be used, for example, <a href="http://www.blacktree.com/">QuickSilver</a> 
					or <a href="http://www.indev.ca/MailActOn.html">Mail Act-On</a>.
